Texas Stock Exchange moves closer to launch with leadership team, board
Corrects lead to show that TXSE aims to be a national exchange, not a regional one
By Laura Matthews and Suzanne McGee
NEW YORK, Sept 30 (Reuters) -The Texas Stock Exchange, which is planning to launch next year, announced a board of directors on Monday in its latest step toward building a national exchange to rival long-established platforms in New York.
TXSE announced in June that it plans to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, having raised about $120 million and backed by BlackRock BLK.N and Citadel Securities.
Rick Perry, a former governor of Texas and former U.S. energy secretary, was named to the board, TXSE said. Other directors include Rick Roberts, a former SEC commissioner, and Alex Bussandri, global head of strategy at Citadel Securities.
The exchange has drawn staff members from Nasdaq NDAQ.O and the New York Stock Exchange, a division of the Intercontinental Exchange ICE.N, as well as other trading platforms.
The exchange also named Cam Smith as its global head of trading and co-president. Smith began his career working for electronic trading platforms and served as president of Quantlab, an automated proprietary trading firm.
Jeff Brown, a former acting general counsel at Charles Schwab SCHW.N, is serving as general counsel of TXSE Group Inc and chief regulatory officer of the exchange.
